RE: Oracle and DST changes

I think you're missing a very important point here. Just becuase you are going to patch regardless of the utlzuv2.sql output does NOT mean that you don't need to run utltzuv2.sql. The utltzuv2.sql script is to tell you if you have any affected data and if you do, then you have to backup (copy) that data into varchar2 columns BEFORE patching and then restore (copy back) the data AFTER the patch. You can backup/restore the data into varchar2 columns manually, or use the provided scripts from Metalink.

That looks right to me. If you're going to patch everything no matter what, then I don't see a reason to run utltzuv2.sql unless you're just curious.
